Mike Perrin on baseball hire, conference expansion
Quick summary if you don’t have 6 minutes to spare...
Bullish on a Big 12 title game being instituted. Traditional geographical divisions probably don’t serve us with a round robin schedule
Cautious about expansion - wasn’t much about it at the recent Big 12 AD meeting
Appreciative of Augie’s willingness to step down
The new baseball coach hire - he’s looking for an experienced collegiate coach, expect a hire in the next two weeks (letting CWS play out)
My thoughts:
Perrin seems like a sharp, nice guy who certainly loves Texas, but a ceremonial AD who isn’t actively scheming every day to get us out of the Big 12 and to shape our future proactively is an opportunity lost.
